Volume Eleven: Underwater Carnival (10)
In fact, the matter of the mermaid king seeking Feng Rong's help is simple, but it is not simple, and it is indeed not simple. In summary, it is just a sentence - the mermaid tribe was sent a letter of intimidation.
When everyone received this news, their first reaction was - Oh my god, it was so scary of the sea clan. Who is so unthinkable and wants to provoke the mermaid clan...
We can't blame them for thinking so. Not to mention the sea clan, even other ethnic groups in the supernatural community know that the elves, angels, and mermaids that are said to be extremely beautiful are the same as the more beautiful things the more poisonous they are. Their meows are just beautiful, but in fact they are all human-eating flowers!
So everyone really couldn't understand why anyone would dare to send intimidation letters to the mermaid clan for a while, but in a certain way, this seemed to mean that the other party was a person or force who was confident enough to fight against the mermaid clan. You should know that as one of the overlords of the sea clan, the mermaid clan has more than their own power, but also the countless sea clans who support the mermaid clan behind them. This means that posting a war on the mermaid clan is equivalent to declaring war on most of the sea world!
People who dare to do such things may have a lot of plans, but it is the Undersea Carnival. The creatures of all races play here and cause a diplomatic accident rhythm in minutes. It is precisely because this matter sounds very serious. The sea tribes also consider that the boss of the Law Enforcement Department of the Spirit Security Bureau is in their territory, and it is really hard to explain what happened, so they hurriedly sent someone to invite Feng Rong over and discuss what to do about this matter. Maybe the Spirit Security Bureau will know more information than them.
Lin Yingkong took the drink delivered to them by a sea clan, took a sip of something that his minister could have, and then placed it on the table in front of Feng Rong. The young prince of the mermaid clan noticed his movements and observed him for a while. Lin Yingkong remained motionless and smiled slightly at him. The prince of the mermaid clan frowned and turned his head to stop looking at him.
Feng Rong did not pay attention to the interaction between his assistant and the mermaid prince. He held the threatening letter in his hand and looked back and forth for a while, but there was not much content on it. There was only a line of blood-red and ominous words that read: "Carnival is a feast when the flower of blood blooms."
"Can you all be sure this is a threatening letter for the mermaid clan?" After a while, Feng Rong suddenly asked this question.
Everyone looked at each other and a mermaid elder said, "This letter was placed directly in our king's study room. Minister An, you also know the importance of a place like a study room. The person who wrote the letter said this was undoubtedly a blatant provocation to our mermaids."
The president of the Underwater Carnival Organizing Committee is also a member of the Mermaid tribe. He said in a deep voice: "Although judging from the text of the intimidation letter, the other party wants to make trouble at the Underwater Carnival, all previous carnivals are hosted by the Mermaid tribe, and the location is also chosen in the Mermaid town. No matter what the other party does at the Underwater Carnival, it is equivalent to asking for trouble for the Mermaid tribe."
Feng Rong nodded, not sure whether he agreed with their statement or just said that he had heard it, "Okay, then I'll ask, if this is really a threatening letter to the mermaid clan, are there any candidates for suspects in your mind? I think you shouldn't need me to check the distribution of the power of the sea clan."
This question was that the sea tribes in the conference hall scratched their heads a little, looked at each other for a few times, and then looked at each other and focused their eyes on the mermaid king. The mermaid king looked at Feng Rong calmly and said, "Minister An, I believe in your character, so I sincerely tell you that we are indeed clueless about this matter, which will disturb your trip to you and your members. The mermaid tribe may indeed have many enemies, but they are all very smart enemies. They will not cause trouble for our mermaid tribe on occasions like the underwater carnival. Too many people have gathered in the Carnival. Who dares to attack here? They may face the siege of countless races in the supernatural community. I think they are not so stupid."
The mermaid king said rudely and straightforwardly. After Feng Rong heard this, before he could speak, the mermaid prince suddenly interrupted and said, "Father, since you think this is a stupid enemy, why not leave this matter to me to solve it? Although I have not accepted the affairs of the clan, I will soon become an adult. I believe that the father will give me a chance to exercise and let me prove that I am already a heir who can stand alone."
As soon as he finished speaking, another mermaid elder, who seemed to be quite old, spoke up and said with a majestic look: "Prince Vina, the king's meaning is not that the enemy who sends a threat letter is stupid. This is not as simple as you imagined. Please don't mess around."
The elder was not tactful at all. The mermaid prince Wiener suddenly turned red and stared at him with some anger. The others who were stunned by Wiener's sudden volunteering immediately said that their words were much more beautiful, but in the end, it was just one thing, that is, Prince, you have never done anything, so don't make trouble. Hearing this underage boy, he was full of anger and could not argue, he could only look at the cold face of the mermaid king in the main position, hoping that he could agree to his request.
The Mermaid King waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. Then, as if the scene had not happened just now, he still said to Feng Rong with a calm expression: "Minister An, do you have any clues?"
Prince Vina instantly seemed to have been slapped by someone, his whole face turned red. He looked at his father in disbelief and heartbroken, and then pointed his resentful eyes at Feng Rong. Feng Rong didn't care about his eyes and replied calmly: "Just as Your Majesty, you said, smart enemies will not hurt others for a thousand and hurt themselves, but stupid enemies may have been discovered before they approach your study. Then I think, I need to investigate before I can give you an accurate reply. Will Your Majesty give me and my field team a maximum level authority?"
He was not polite about his request, and the Mermaid King agreed very readily, "Of course this is possible. Minister Angry, you and your team members can mobilize resources in the Mermaid Town at will and enter every place in the Mermaid Town without disturbing this undersea carnival. But I also hope Minister Angry, you can guarantee to me that this carnival can end safely."
Feng Rong nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I pay attention to the security issues of the Undersea Carnival just like you. After all, this festival is quite beautiful, and I like it very much. I hope no one will destroy this beauty."
The cold face of the Mermaid King suddenly softened a little. He smiled and said, "Yes, every time the undersea carnival is held, it means that the sea tribes are still living freely in the sea world. Whenever every sea tribe arrives in the Mermaid Town, it means that he has lived safely for a decade again, and prays for the same peace in the next ten years. Thanks to Minister Ang for his blessing to the undersea carnival."
After briefly understanding the current situation, Feng Rong said that he would summon his team members to come, so the Mermaid King ordered everyone to disperse. This threatening letter can be big or small, but for them, the current undersea carnival is the top priority, and they cannot ignore the work of the carnival because of this matter.
When the show ended, Feng Rong left late because he had said a few more words to the mermaid king. Prince Vina actually waited for them to come out, staring at Feng Rong like a needle, but he seemed to know the status of the Minister of the Yiling Law Enforcement Department. It would be difficult to deal with if he offends people, so after they came out, they pointed their finger at Lin Yingkong and smiled: "I heard that Minister Darkness has two assistants, one is the most famous bounty hunter in the 2000s in the Western supernatural world, smart and capable, and the other is the youngest son of the 10th Hall of the Eastern Ghost World. He is meticulous and has strong spiritual power." He deliberately looked at Lin Yingkong and said maliciously: "But today I saw this assistant Lin with my own eyes. I wish I could take the liberty. You don't look as powerful as the rumors say, but rather like a servant next to Minister Darkness."
Feng Rong's brows frowned suddenly, and the pressure around her deepened a little. Prince Vina subconsciously took a step back, and then seemed to feel that his actions were a bit embarrassing. He bit his lips unhappily and said angrily: "Minister An, what do you think I'm doing? Are I wrong? He does not look powerful at all!"
Lin Yingkong's face was as usual, and he was in the mood to pinch Feng Rong's fingers to comfort him. Then he smiled at Prince Vina very gently and said in a kind tone: "Because, I am a qualified assistant."
Prince Wiener was stunned, "What does it mean?"
Lin Yingkong said sternly: "Because a qualified assistant cannot steal the limelight from his boss, it's like a son who can't embarrass his father. Prince Wiener, are you right?"
Prince Vina's face turned red again, "Are you saying that I'm embarrassing my father? You're talking nonsense, I haven't..."
"Prince Vina, you misunderstood. I just made an example," Lin Yingkong continued to smile, which was so beautiful that he felt like a spring breeze. "After all, I have never tried to steal the vows as his son at an important meeting of my father, nor have I tried to say some inappropriate words to the guests he invited, so I don't know if this kind of thing will embarrass my father." At the end, he also sincerely suggested: "Prince Vina, go and ask His Majesty the Mermaid King, I believe he will be happy to answer your question."
Prince Vina was so angry that his golden fishtail was about to turn red. "You, you, you..." After a while, he swung his tail angrily and swam away. The big fishtail almost "snap" to Lin Yingkong's face. Lin Yingkong was so lucky that he waved goodbye to him leisurely. Feng Rong glanced at him helplessly - well, he almost forgot that his assistant was unwilling to suffer losses in most cases.
"Tsk," Lin Yingkong said as soon as Prince Vina left, "The Mermaid King's reputation is very good. How come he raised such a naughty child? If the mermaid tribe is handed over to him, he will set up a series of enemies to treat them as targets in minutes~"
Feng Rong didn't care much, "Every family has a difficult sutra to recite. I heard that the mermaid king's wife died very early. He had to take charge of another ethnic group himself, so it was normal that he didn't have time to teach his children."
Lin Yingkong curled his lips, "My father is busy too. He usually beats my brother when he has time. It's just an excuse. If you really want to, how can you not take time? There will always be time to beat me!"
It was rare for him to talk about family education. Feng Rong really didn't expect that his assistant was a strict father-like type, and he felt a little surprised. After all, seeing his usual protective and doting attitude towards him, he felt that he might be a person who spoiled his children to heaven, but he didn't say this, and just asked, "Why did your brother get beaten?" He had met Lin Yingkong's brother several times, and he felt that he was quite elite and reliable in his work, not like a person who would cause trouble.
When he mentioned his family, Lin Yingkong became excited and said to him: "Minister, don't look at my brother as a man. In fact, he often makes mistakes. Although he is a little confused, my father thinks that not picking up details will not be a big deal, so when he is confused, my father beat him up. Unfortunately, my brother remembers to eat and beat him, and it feels useless to beat him."
Feng Rong imagined it for a moment and felt that the Run Wang family was probably a mess, so she couldn't help but smile, "What about you? Have you ever been beaten?"
Lin Yingkong blinked innocently and smiled extremely purely, "How could it be? I am so well-behaved and obedient."
Feng Rong said seriously: "That's true. If you know how to fool you so well, you will definitely fool the King of Rotation and forget to beat you up."
Lin Yingkong was deceived by his serious expression for a second, then he realized that he was teasing himself. He immediately widened his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Doesn't I behaved and obedient in the eyes of Minister?"
Feng Rong coughed dryly, "Well..."
Lin Yingkong stretched out his hand to threaten him to scratch his nest, "Hmm?"
Feng Rong quickly got one meter away from him and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, you are the most well-behaved and obedient... The important thing is, please contact Rongzi and the others quickly and let them gather here."
Lin Yingkong was still very dedicated. After hearing his words, he took out his cell phone to contact everyone in the field team of the General Office. He did not forget to look at Feng Rong and said to him: "Minister, wait, and I will prove to you how 'behaved and obedient' I am."
Feng Rong: "..." I always felt like I was giving his assistant another reason to have fun.
Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong's call caused the members of the field team of the General Office to wail. They finally went out for a trip for public expenses, but after a few hours of fun, they were troubled. It was really amazing.
Zhu Mengtian hung up the phone and said with a depressed look on his face: "I would have turned off the phone if I had known... Ahhh, my beauty, my carnival, I was so disappointed!"
Zong Shaoxian, who didn't know why he had to act with him, but he acted together without realizing it, looked at him in surprise, "Do you dare to turn off your phone and disconnect from contact during rest?"
Zhu Mengtian was choked, "...Okay, I really haven't turned off the phone." No matter how you do, you still have such professional qualities.
Zong Shaoxian rolled his eyes to him, "What are you talking about?" and said, "What do you say, Assistant Lin? You always organize the field team? Do you want me to help?"
"Uh, he really didn't say this clearly, so he asked me to gather at the Mermaid King's palace," Zhu Mengtian scratched his chin, "How about you go and play, I'll go over. Since he didn't say it was an emergency call, it would probably not be a serious matter."
Zong Shaoxian thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'd better go there with you. Shaofeng is not here, there is nothing fun."
Zhu Mengtian looked at him sadly, "My sister-in-law please don't give up treatment."
Zong Shaoxian laughed at him, "I'm happy, do you care?"
"..." Zhu Mengtian looked sad and angry - Yes, he didn't care, so whimper.
Di Bingqiao and Fei Rong who received the notice were also very regretful. Zong Shaofeng was even more hit and said with a depressed look on his face: "I also want to ask my brother and Brother Meng Tian to cultivate more feelings, why did you suddenly have a task?"
Fei Rong pinched her chin with one hand and made a Conan statement, "There is only one truth, that is - someone in our group must have a disaster physique!" Something happened wherever she went!
Di Bing was embarrassed, "From Feng Shui, this should be called "too light to cause trouble, right?"
Fei Rong wondered, "Feng Shui? Isn't it metaphysics?"
Di Bingqiao was confused for a moment, "Or is it a physiognomy?"
Zong Shaofeng: "..." The wrong topic... Do you still remember the key point?
Cheng Xiaodai and Ding Youlan were very grateful to Assistant Lin’s convening order. They had been teased by a group of bold girls countless times, and one of the buttons of their clothes fell off. It was the time when Lin Yingkong finally saved them. They almost left the terrifying women in the posture of running away from their lives. No wonder the minister and Assistant Lin were going to make trouble. The female creatures in this world are really terrifying!
"After that being said," After running far away, Xiaodai asked Ding Youlan who answered the phone: "Assistant Lin said he wanted us to gather for something?"
Ding Youlan was pulled and ran away by Cheng Xiaodai while operating the computer with one hand. A huge stream of data passed by his computer, "Well, it seems that nothing big is going on. Undersea Carnival is going well... Uh, there is an anti-carnival association jumping around to show off its presence. I wonder if it is going to deal with this group of people... The Palace of the Mermaid King has changed a batch of defense... With that, Assistant Lin asked us to gather near the Palace of the Mermaid King. It seems that something was wrong there."
"Mermaid King?" Cheng Xiaodai blinked, "I heard that he is a famous handsome man from the sea clan. I don't know if he can see a real person later. His signature can sell 10,000 yuan of universal coins in the supernatural community~"
"Really? Then let's secretly ask him for an autograph?" Ding Youlan was very excited, "I just happened to save money to exchange my baby computer for the latest version of hardware~"
Compared to Xiaodai and Ding Youlan, who had started to take advantage of others before they saw the real person, E Jingbai was a little worried after answering the phone. It was not because he didn't want to work, but what should Yan Mi do?
